AbstractCovalent modification of cullins by the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 (neddylation) regulates protein ubiquitination by promoting the assembly of cullin-RING ligase E3 complexes. Like ubiquitination, neddylation results from an enzymatic cascade involving the sequential activity of a dedicated E1 (APPBP1/Uba3), E2 (Ubc12), and an ill-defined E3. We show that SCCRO (also known as DCUN1D1) binds to the components of the neddylation pathway (Cullin-ROC1, Ubc12, and CAND1) and augments but is not required for cullin neddylation in reactions using purified recombinant proteins. We also show that SCCRO recruits Ubc12 approximately NEDD8 to the CAND1-Cul1-ROC1 complex but that this is not sufficient to dissociate or overcome the inhibitory effects of CAND1 on cullin neddylation in purified protein assays. In contrast to findings in cellular systems where no binding is seen, we show that SCCRO and CAND1 can bind to the neddylated Cul1-ROC1 complex in assays using purified recombinant proteins. Although neddylated (not unneddylated) Cul1-ROC1 is released from CAND1 upon incubation with testis lysate from SCCRO+/+ mice, the addition of recombinant SCCRO is required to achieve the same results in lysate from SCCRO(-/-) mice. Combined, these results suggest that SCCRO is an important component of the neddylation E3 complex that functions to recruit charged E2 and is involved in the release of inhibitory effects of CAND1 on cullin-RING ligase E3 complex assembly and activity.

FIGURE 1.SCCRO interacts with Cullins, CAND1, and Ubc12. A, Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE gel showing GST (lane 1) and GST-SCCRO (lane 2) pulldown products from HeLa extracts. Unique bands from GST-SCCRO pulldown assays were excised and subjected to tandem mass spectroscopy analysis (MALDI-ReTOF) revealing the 120-kDa band as CAND1 and the 80–90-kDa bands as cullins 1–4. B, Western blot on the pulldown products of GST-SCCRO and GST-SCCRO mutants from HeLa extracts probed with indicated antibodies showing SCCRO binds to CAND1, cullins 1–5, ROC1, and Ubc12 (lane 2). The C-terminal (SCCROΔ210–259; lane 4) but not the N-terminal deletion of SCCRO (SCCROΔ1–33; lane 3) lost interaction with the Cullin-ROC1, CAND1, and Ubc12 (lane 4). SCCRO-D241N lost interaction with the Cullin-ROC1 and CAND1 while retaining binding to Ubc12 (lane 6). The level of the various GST-tagged proteins used in the pulldown experiment was confirmed by probing a Western blot with anti-GST antibody (bottom panel). C, Western blot showing products from an HA immunoprecipitation (IP) of lysates from HeLa cells transfected pCMV-HA-SCCRO or selected SCCRO deletions/mutants probed with indicated antibodies showing SCCRO maintains binding to neddylation components in vivo (lane 2). SCCROΔ210–259 (lane 4) and SCCRO-D241N (lane 6) lose binding to cullins, ROC1, and CAND1. D, Western blot on immunoprecipitates from HeLa extract prepared with anti-SCCRO (left panel; lane 2) anti-ROC1 (right panel; lane 2) or preimmune serum (PIS; lane 1) probed with indicated antibodies showing in vivo interaction between native SCCRO and CAND1, Cul1, and ROC1 but not SKP2 (left panel), whereas ROC1 binds to CAND1, Cul1, SCCRO, and SKP2 (right panel). E, summary of results from pulldown assays using GST-SCCRO or SCCRO deletions/mutations showing binding of CAND1, Cul-ROC1, and Ubc12 requires C-terminal 50 amino acids. SCCRO-D241N loses binding to CAND1 and Cul1-ROC1 but retains binding to Ubc12.

A and B, plot showing levels of Cul1 (A) and Cul3 (B) (mean ± S.E.) neddylation quantified by densitometry of Western blots from three independent in vitro neddylation reactions containing HeLa extract (as a source of cullin substrate), E1, E2, ATP, NEDD8, and a concentration gradient of SCCRO. The fraction of neddylated Cul1 (A) and Cul3 (B) increased with increasing SCCRO concentration. Representative Western blots from in vitro neddylation reactions are shown as insets. C, a plot showing the fraction of neddylated Cul3 (means ± S.E.) against time in minutes from three independent neddylation assays. SCCRO but not SCCRO-D241N enhances neddylation efficiency. D, representative Western blot from C showing Cul3 neddylation in presence of SCCRO or SCCRO-D241N. E, results from in vitro neddylation reaction supplemented with SCCRO (lanes 2 and 3) or SCCRO deletions showing SCCROΔ1–33 (lanes 4 and 5) but not the C-terminal deletion SCCROΔ210–259 (lanes 6 and 7) retained neddylation activity. F, Western blot for Cul1 from a time course in vitro reaction containing purified, bacterially expressed Cul1-ROC1 showing SCCRO enhances efficiency but is not required for neddylation.

B, Western blot showing a higher level of neddylated cullins in lysates from SCCRO transfected (lane 2) relative to vector-transfected cells (lane 1). Western blot on HeLa lysates from B after addition of neddylation components (E1, E2, NEDD8, and ATP) showing increased neddylated Cul1 levels in SCCRO-transfected (lane 4) relative to empty vector (lane 3)-transfected cells. C, Western blot on lysates from SCC15 cells showing a decrease in SCCRO protein levels in cells transfected with specific RNAi against SCCRO (lane 3) relative to untransfected (lane 1) or scrambled RNAi-transfected cells (lane 2). D, in vitro neddylation reaction of the same lysates showing decreased Cul1 neddylation in SCCRO-RNAi transfected (lane 3) compared with untransfected (lane 1) or scrambled RNAi (lane 2)-transfected cells. The addition of recombinant SCCRO to the lysate from SCCRO RNAi-transfected SCC15 cells (lane 6) recovers Cul1 neddylation to levels observed in controls (lanes 4 and 5). E, Western blot showing the absence of detectable SCCRO protein in testis lysates from SCCRO–/– mice (left panel, lane 2) in contrast to a SCCRO+/+ (left panel, lane 1) litter mate control. The same lysates were subjected to neddylation assays (right panel) showing a significant decrease in neddylated Cul3 levels in SCCRO–/– mice (lane 2).

FIGURE 5.SCCRO does not overcome the inhibitory effects of CAND1 on neddylation. A, Western blot on GST-SCCRO pulldown products after incubation with purified, bacterially expressed Cul1-ROC1 and CAND1 showing CAND1 is pulled down by SCCRO only when it is complexed with Cul1-ROC1 (lanes 1 and 3). A CAND1 deletion (CAND1Δ604–1230) that loses binding to cullins is not pulled down by SCCRO (lane 4 and 5). B, Western blot from reciprocal GST-CAND1 pulldown assay showing interaction of CAND1 with SCCRO requires Cul1-ROC1 (lanes 2–4). C, Western blot for Cul1 following in vitro neddylation reaction using purified recombinant components showing complete inhibition of neddylation in the presence of 2-fold or higher molar excess of CAND1. D, Western blot on products from an in vitro neddylation reaction confirming increasing Cul1 neddylation with increasing amounts of SCCRO (lanes 2–4). The addition of CAND1 inhibits Cul1 neddylation (lane 5), which is not rescued even by 5-fold molar excess of SCCRO (lane 6; same blot, excess lanes removed). E, Western blot showing GST-CAND1 pulldown products after incubation with purified, bacterially expressed Cul1-ROC1, Ubc12∼NEDD8, and SCCRO. CAND1 interacts with Ubc12∼NEDD8 only when Cul1-ROC1 is present (lanes 1 and 2), and this interaction is enhanced by the presence of SCCRO (lane 3). F, Western blot on lysates from HA-SCCRO-transfected HeLa cells subjected to neddylation reaction showing an increase in cullin neddylation with the addition of ATP (lanes 1 and 2). HA immunoprecipitation (IP) of the same reaction products showed SCCRO preferentially interacts with unneddylated cullins (lanes 3 and 4). G, Western blot on products from an in vitro neddylation reaction using purified recombinant components showing an increase in the fraction of neddylated Cul1 with increasing reaction time (top panel). Western blot on the same reaction after GST-SCCRO (middle panel) and GST-CAND1 (bottom panel) pulldown assays showing that SCCRO and CAND1 interact with both free and neddylated cullins (same blot, excess lanes removed). H, Western blot on products from pulldown assays after GST-CAND1 complexed with either NEDD8-Cul1-ROC1 or free Cul1-ROC1 was incubated with increasing amounts of testis lysate from SCCRO+/+ mice showing release of NEDD8-Cul1-ROC1 but not unneddylated Cul1-ROC1. I, Western blot on products from pulldown assays after GST-CAND1 complexed with either NEDD8-Cul1-ROC1 or free Cul1-ROC1 was incubated with increasing amounts of testis lysate from SCCRO–/– mice showing release of Cul1-ROC1-NEDD8 only with addition of SCCRO and not SCCRO-D241N (same blot, excess lanes removed).
